Re: True or false? |
The balls to the wall energy cannot be exceeded by 12/29/68, as elb alludes; as for "tightness", I dunno...I do know that 2/11/69 has the TIGHTEST 11 though.

Re: True or false? |
Don't you think 02/12/69 has that honor?

Re: True or false? |
Something must be said about the disparity between the length of the two - 2/12/69's version is nearly 2x the time of the previous night's. I can't get enough of the tune, hence, may be a bit biased towards the longer version. Of course, there really are no less than stellar versions of this song.

Re: True or false? |
2/12/69 is my favorite perfomance of The Eleven, though I cannot imagine how it could be mistaken for a tight rendition...

Re: True or false? |
How so? By 'tight' do we mean 'concise'? Even then, there's little rambling involved, aside from the intro jam which still seems pretty sharp and focused to me.

Re: True or false? |
How so?
Garcia has broken a string. He's absent for nearly 3/4 of the song. Weir slashes leads admirably, making for a blistering hot and unique rendition. But it's certainly not even close to tight playing...
